No other piece of basic gear in the armory has a de-buff/penalty.
The extra dice defense is so overpowering that we must put a penalty on the wearer?
Comments like that make it very hard to take you seriously. You think that any time a man disagrees with a woman that he must be doing it for that reason. That's an extremely simplistic attitude that hurts the cause of stopping genuine predudice. The only one here being sexist is you.cynthialee wrote:How kind of you men to tell me how I am wrong and my feelings are unjustified. Typical really.
Was it made of tin foil? I know that it's a misconception that knights could hardly move but you can't carry around any reasonable amount of extra weight and expect to be able to move like evolution intented.cynthialee wrote:I have seen men run, jump and do cartwheels in plate armor in real life. And they were wearing that armor all day long.
Plate armour gives you one more defence dice than you would otherwise be able to have, so yes it's a simple penalty that makes perfect sense for the mechanics and realism (as much as anything else anyway). It's not a mistake.cynthialee wrote:The extra dice defense is so overpowering that we must put a penalty on the wearer?
Exactly, and it's not even an artificial restriction. The armour that weighs the most slows the wearer down. I can't believe this is even a point of contention at all.Count Mohawk wrote:Even if it's an artificial restriction, assigning a penalty of some kind to the use of Plate allows slightly more decision-making for the Heroes while they spend their gold at the armory.

I was going to say something about this but decided I better not. I'm glad you did it for me. I must have missed the religion one. What this board really needs is a good political debate to shake things up. I'll write a piece on why socialism is definitely the way forward for the world and the US in particular, especially the southern states.Forum rules

Oh yea, she did.Count Mohawk wrote:It's not, actually. Not to put words in Cynthia's mouth or anything, but I'm pretty sure she's been recommending a lesser movement penalty at least as much as no movement penalty. She said as much in her most recent post.Gold Bearer wrote:Exactly, and it's not even an artificial restriction. The armour that weighs the most slows the wearer down.

Has been done. Falls under 'Science'.
The other implemented taboos are 'Drugs' and whatchamacallit... ah, yes, 'religion'.
By the way, my wish was purely sarcastic. This is a forum.
